DIALOG SEMICONDUCTOR CFO TO STEP DOWN

London, UK, [30] July 2015 - Dialog Semiconductor plc(FWB: DLG), a provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC, solid state lighting and Bluetooth® Smart wireless technology, today announces that Jean-Michel Richard, Chief Financial Officer will step down.

Jean-Michel Richard, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance, has informed the Board of his intention to step down from his position in Q4 to ensure an orderly transition of his responsibilities. A search for Mr. Richard's successor is well underway.

Jean-Michel joined Dialog Semiconductor in September 2006, taking responsibility for the leadership of the Company's finance department. Since that time, he has played a key role in helping to shape Dialog's successful strategy and developing a finance function to support the Company's high-growth trajectory.

Mr. Richard said:

"It has been a privilege to be part of the talented team that has transformed Dialog into the success story it is today. It is now time for me to leave the Company to spend more time with my family and pursue other interests. I wish Dialog and all my colleagues and friends continued great success."

Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Richard Beyer commented:

"On behalf of the Board and the entire management team, I would like to thank Jean-Michel for nine years of tireless commitment. Dialog was a very different firm with a much less certain future when Jean-Michel first took up his role in 2006. The positive transformation in Dialog's financial position and prospects owes much to the work he has carried out. We wish him and his family well for the future."

Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Jalal Bagherli added:

"Jean-Michel has made an enormous contribution to Dialog's strong profitable growth track record. Over the past nine years he has made an even greater contribution to me personally,

as a close, effective and hugely energetic colleague. I would like to thank him for his hard work and dedication. He can be proud of the finance function he has built and the strong, financial momentum he leaves behind"
